Putt like Bryson: DeChambeau teaches his unique putting technique to Kyle Berkshire 

Published

3 years ago

on

Bryson DeChambeau’s putting stroke is one of the most unique on tour, and in a recent video, the 27-year-old teaches World Long Drive Champ Kyle Berkshire just how it’s done. The video includes plenty of interesting dialogue between the two on the methodology, with Bryson calling the technique natural to him and explaining his method as:

“My arms are literally locked against my chest, and I raise my left shoulder up, and right arm goes down. I straighten the right arm. And I use the upper segment of my spine to move.”

DeChambeau calls his technique “like a machine” with everything locked up bar his core, while for long putts, Bryson explained how there is a little more knee motion in his stroke.

By the end of the video, Berkshire looks to have a very good handle on the putting technique, and it has some of our members wondering whether maybe we could see the long drive champ  one day on the PGA Tour.

Check out the session in full below:

Here’s what a couple of our members have been saying on the video:

  • FakeClubPro: Anyone use this Bryson putting technique?    Maybe Bryson can help Kyle improve his short game enough so Kyle can get his card and a shot at the Big Show.   It might bring some more excitement to the PGA.”
  • PureStrikes54: “Kyle did putt a bit better with the armlock in his last vlog than his average with his conventional putting method. Holed some longer putts but didn’t appear to be seriously putting out the 2-4 foot par putts.”

On Friday morning, Ladies European Tour player, Hannah Gregg, took to social media to share her weekly expenses playing on the LET.

“Expenses of my first week on Ladies European Tour: Flights: $2600 Work Visa: $350 

  • Food: $377 
  • Caddie: $0 because I have an amazing Fiancé 
  • Hotel: $0 because  @GregChalmersPGA sorted me host housing for the week!  
  • Rental Car: +0 because the Tour Tee guys GAVE me their car  
  • Gas: $165 
  • Entry Fee: $130 
  • Lounge Pass for caddie: $50 
  • Gym: $0 
  • Yardage book: $0 
  • Total expenses: $3672 

Made cut, finished 54th, total earned: $1244 Factor in 35% tax on earnings. To break even, needed to finish 24th. To make money, 21st. Guess we have our goals laid out for next event!”

When factoring in Gregg’s free housing, free caddie and free rental car, it’s evident that most LET players would have to finish well inside of the top-20 to make any money.

With ridiculous amounts of money being thrown around in professional golf these days, it’s important to remember the other side of the coin as well. There are countless professionals out there who struggle to get by on their golf salary.

After a seventeen-month application process, a 54-hole golf tour was deemed eligible for OWGR points.

Unfortunately, for LIV Golf and their fans, it was the Clutch Pro Tour.

After the decision, which is effective immediately, OWGR chairman Peter Dawson issued a statement.

“This is a significant milestone for golf, and OWGR is deeply encouraged by the achievement and the continued efforts in developing the sport of golf in the United Kingdom.”

“We look forward to watching the progress of the Clutch Pro Tour as it continues to play a key role in the development of players from the region,” Dawson added.

The Clutch Pro Tour operates in the United Kingdom and features a 36-hole cut. It also has an open qualifying school.

As first reported by Bob Harig of Sports Illustrated, Charlie Woods will be attempting to qualify for this year’s U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2.

The first stage of qualifying for this year’s tournament will be an 18-hole local event on Thursday, April 25th, in Port St. Lucie, Florida.

There will be 84 players in the field, five of which will reach the 36-hole qualifier that will take place in June.

Earlier this season, Charlie attempted to qualify for the Cognizant Classic, and struggled, shooting an 86.

If the younger Woods is able to qualify, he will tee it up in the same field as his father in a few months at one of the more historic U.S. Open venues.
